Re: John Zimri Allen b.1831 NC

You might try this angle: Zimri Allen,b.Abt. 1745, son of Joseph Allen, b.April 15, 1712 in Northampton, Hampshire, MA.Zimri is the brother of Ethan and Ira Allen of Green Mountain Boys fame. They had a few dealings with the law in their time. With such an unusual name as Zimri, there must be some connection.Good Luck!
